A former wealthy man, a socialite, and a marshal of the nobility, Ippolit Vorobyaninov became an ordinary registry office clerk in a small town after the revolution. He has not yet forgotten his old habits and often dreams of his former life. One day, the steady pace of his life is disrupted — his dying mother-in-law told Vorobyaninov about a vast fortune hidden by her during the revolution in one of the chairs of a drawing-room suite.

He immediately rushes off to search, together with the ‘grand strategist’ he met, a conman and lover of banknotes named Ostap Bender. The treasure will not be easy to find, but gripped by a passion for wealth, Bender and Vorobyaninov will stop at nothing…
